When I have Guest Mode on, I’d like to maintain my downstairs temperature at 20°, but if it’s just me, I’m happy to suffer at 18°. However I can’t figure out how to do it so that I don’t have to make a whole new set of automations. Is there a graceful way I can set a conditional variable?

    Yes create a input boolean for a guest mode and then on your automations you set condition > entity > guest mode > on/off

    Oh also you can use trigger IDs for your triggers and then use the choose action and trigger on trigger id.

      This was the easy part, the hard part is managing

      if (guest_mode == on){
  target_temp = 20
}else{
  target_temp = 18
};

      Sorry, I took so long to come back to this.

    As a Node Red guy I have an input Boolean called “Guest” and have my heating automation check if Guest is on or off, then tell it the temperature I want for each.
